Ingesting an Asset

To ingest source content, create an asset in AWS Elemental MediaPackage. When MediaPackage
ingests content, it creates a unique playback URL for every packaging configuration
that's associated with the asset.

To create an asset, you can use the AWS Elemental MediaPackage console, the AWS CLI,
or the
MediaPackage API.
For information about creating a packaging configuration with the AWS CLI or MediaPackage
API, see Assets in the AWS Elemental MediaPackage VOD API Reference.

When you're creating an asset, don't put sensitive identifying information like
customer account numbers into free-form fields, such as the ID field. This applies when you're using the console, REST API, AWS CLI,
or AWS SDKs. Any data that you enter into MediaPackage might get picked up for
inclusion in diagnostic logs or Amazon CloudWatch Events.

If you exceed the quotas for your account when you're creating a packaging
configuration, you get an error. If you get an error similar to Too many
requests, please try again. Resource limit exceeded, either you have
exceeded the API request quotas, or you have already reached the maximum number of
packaging groups allowed on your account. If this is your first group, or if you think
you mistakenly received this error, use the Service Quotas console to
request quota increases. For more information about quotas in MediaPackage, see Quotas in AWS Elemental MediaPackage.
